Patterson murder a killing which brought on the unprecedented i cleanup. A county official who wouldn't be quoted by name said yesterday that the grand jury would be asked to bypass the attorney general's office unless acting Atty. Gen, Bernard Sykes agrees to start presenting the murder case to the jury within 12 days. Sykes told newsmen he knew nothing of the reported ultimatum and that he doubted its "authenticity." Some detectives who have worked on the homicide investigation said recently they think Patterson's killer is known, but no arrests have been made. Patterson was slain outside his Phenix City law office the night of June 18 after winning the Democratic nomination for attorney general of Alabama on a vice cleanup platform.

YOUR HEALTH By L. Milhoui Mat Do So (Bursitis In scientific language, bursitis is an inflammation of a bursa. A bursa is a little sac located. near the attachment of certain muscles, such as the big oc joint, around the knee and shoulder, near the heel, at the elbow, and at other places. The bursa is designed to re-d friction between the i and the bone structures lying beneath the skin.

Bad bone mechanics plays an important part in the inflammation and irritation in the regions where the bursas are located. When neglected, the inflamed bursa may become calci fied, leading to a chronic impairment of motion. Care of bursitis ire threefold in aim. First, it involves the relief of the inflammation; next, comes correction of body mechanics, and finally, restoration to aormal mobility of the affected part Chiropractors have been highly successful, in caring for individuals afflicted with this vexatious dis- C3SC dr. l.

Because they are such populous states," New York and California together have 77 out of a total of 531 electoral votes for president By the same token, they carry great weight at the national nominating conventions of both par tics. Start Of -Battle The Republicans started the 1954 battle for governorships holding 29 statehouses to 19 for the Democrats. This is the largest GOP ad vantage since 1930, when the split was exactly the same. The Democrats picked up a gov ernorship in September when Democrat Edmund S. Muskie defeated Gov.

Burton M. Cross in Maijie. Muskie takes office in January. In all, 22 Republican and 11 Democratic governorships ''are at stake today. Six Republicans and eight Democrats are holdovers.

The battles for governor in some states have reflected sharply the tense campaign for control of the next Congress. Some of the key races: Michigan Democratic Gov. G. Mermen (Soapy) Williams, seeking an unprecedented fourth two-year term, against Republican Donald S. Leonard, formerstate and De troit police commissioner.

GOP tacticians have concentrated upon Williams, twice elected by narrow pluralities, in an effort to pull down the Democratic state ma chine. Main Issue Massachusetts Republican Gov. Christian A. Herter, opposing Robert F. Murphy, Democratic leader in the a Legislature.

As in Michigan, the main issue was economic. Ohio Democratic Gov. Frank J. Lausche, long a voter favorite in the face of Republican successes in other offices, fighting for an unprecedented fifth term against Republican State Auditor James A. Rhodes.

Commission investigate. There was no immediate GOP comment. Nixon told reporters in Denver that the election results be determined by the size of the vote, in obvious reference to the Republican effort to get the GOP members and independents who helped Eisenhower to victory in 1952 out to vote for GOP congressional candidates. More than a trillion kilowatt-hours of electric power will be produced annually in the U.S by 1964. That is more than double, -estimated production for this year.

America except when we had a war." --vr Nixon, who participated from Denver in the same broadcast with the President, flew back to Wash ington today saying the Republi cans only "fear" was that there would be a small vote. "You inescapably must participate in this decision," the President said in a radio-television broadcast, as Mrs. Eisenhower beamed at his side. In a positive way, he said, those who go to the polls can vote for the program and the persons they favor. Negatively, those who fail to mark a ballot "double the value of the vote of anyone who does not believe in the things you be lieve in." Glad Campaign Over There was no official explanation of the President's remark latfir to his press secretary, James C.j Hagerty: "By golly, sometimes you sure get tired of all this clack-ety clack." Aides said, however, that at the end of dozens of speeches and thousands of miles of travel Eisenhower seemed genuinely glad that the campaign was over.

He had campaigned more strenuously on behalf of his party in an off-year election than any president in modern years, thus staking the prestige of his administration at least to a degree the fortunes of GOP candidates. The weather forecast was spotty, calling for rain and snow flur ries in the Atlantic Coast area from Virginia northward. Snow was forecast from N.Y., to northeastern Ohio, with flurries in Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin. The rest of the country generally vas promised clear skies and moderata temperatures. With the campaign firing finally stilled last night.

Democrats voiced seemingly confident claims they would win control of both houses of Congress. This would give Eiscn hower the first opposition-organized Congress since the GOP 80th stirred Democratic former Presi dent Harry Truman's wrath aft er the 1946 elections. Republicans were less optimistic in their forecasts, despite Vice President Nixon's assertion on the same broadcast with the President that the Eisenhower administta tion had given the country "the best government it has had in my lifetime 41 years. Hall Predicts Gains Republican National Chairman Leonard W. Hall predicted his par ty would gain a net of three seats in the Senate, which now is di vided 49 Republicans, 46 Demo crats and 1 independent, Sen wayne worse oi uregon.

Hall said he thinks the GOP will increase by 15 its holdings in the House, now divided partywise 213-212. There are 1 independent and 4 vacancies, 3 Democratic and 1 Republican. On the other hand, Democratic National Chairman Stephen A. Mitchell forecast a net gain of four in the Senate and 25 or mure in trie House for the Democrats He predicted also the Democ rats would pick up eight governorships, a field in which Hall made no predictions. Business Is Good Secretary of the Treasury Humphrey repeated the GOP theme that business is good and getting better, with employment "multiplying." Nixon said 1954 had been the nation's best peacetime year in history.

Echoing, a theme he has stressed in visits to more than two-thirds of the states, Nixon said Democratic administrations had "failed" to counter communism at home. Stevenson said the Republicans were trying to implant in the minds of the voters that the Democrats were "soft toward communism." He said it actually was Democratic administrations which had taken the first steps to organize the free world's struggle against the Red doctrine. Mitchell Denounces "Fakery" Mitchell denounced what he termed "malicious fakery" in Re publican-sponsored radio spot announcements he said recorded a Election Delays Decision On Juror Due After Recess By WILLIAM NEWKIRK CLEVELAND tf-Aa tloa day recess today delayed a decision on whether James R. Manning, a convicted sex offender, should be removed from the jury picked for the Sheppard murder trial. Informed sources, however.

Indicated Manning would be replaced by an alternate juror and the trial would proceed. A declaration of a mistrial was not thought likely. Real Issue Overshadowed The controversy swirling about the Tea! estate salesman the past two. days has almost overshadowed the real issue in the trial: Did osteopath Samuel H. Sheppard.

SO, beat his pregnant wife to death last July 4 after a purported affair with Susan Hayes, a pretty hjospital technician? This is the slate's allegation, which Sheppard denies. Yesterday Asst. Prosecutor John Mahon demanded that Manning be tossed off the jury on grounds lie failed to reveal a crime in his background. Defense Atty. William J.

Corrigan immediately demand-Jd proof that Manning was a sex offender. I With that, the trial was recessed until tomorrow, Judge Won't Speculate I While Judge Edward BIythin would not speculate on what course the trial wUl take Monday, it was believed he would refer to this Ohio law in deciding the Manning question: If before the final submission of the case to the jury, a juror becomes incapacitated or disqualified, he may be discharged by the judge Court sources said that would enable the judge to discharge Man- sing' and replace him with one of the two alternate jurors selected yesterday. 2 'Dirty Thieves' 5 NEWPORT, Ky.

Phono 3-4716 Chemistry Award STOCKHOLM, Sweden tfl An American chemist and two Ger man physicists are top candidates for the 1954 Nobel prizes in chemistry and physics, the Stockholm Expressen said today. Dr.

Linus Pauling, professor of chemistry at the California Insti tute of Technology, Pasadena, is to receive the Nobel prize in chemistry for his work about the nature of chemical bonds, the newspaper reported. It said two German physicists, Dr. Max Born, professor of natural philosophy at the University of Edinburgh, and Dr. Walther Bothe, director of the Max Planck Insti tute, Heidelberg, West Germany, will share the prize in physics. The Swedish Academy of Sciencs is scheduled to decide on the Nobel prizes tomorrow night.

The prizes, each valued at about $35,000. are financed under the will of Alfred Nobel, the Swedish inventor of dy namite. British Horror-Comics Business Is Wiped Out LONDON Britain's major publisher of horror comics an nounced last night he is following the example of his two chief com' petitors and quitting the business The move "means there will be no more of them in this country. said publisher Arthur Miller. "The same is no longer worth- the candle." The horror comics have been under increasing fire recently from 'members 'of Parliament, parent groups and organized news vendors.

Miller printed his comics from matrices or proofs supplied by publishers in America. Voters Balled Up (Continued from Page 1-A) their names did not appear on the official poll list. Senator Robison and Solicitor Thetford said further that any person who votes a challenged ballot will be required to explain why before the next session of the grand jury. Those who failed to qualify to vote in this election may become eligible to vote in the next elec tion by reidentifying themselves 30 days before the election. Vote In Home Precinct Mrs.

C. B. Willis, chairman of the board of registrars, said that all voters should report to the polls in the ward in which they gave their address at the time of reidentification. Many persons found their names on the poll list in a different ward from where they had voted for years because they had not reported any change of address through the years until they signed the reidentification slips. This caused additional confusion at every polling place and meant that many had to report to the second polling place before they could cast a vote.

No Last-Minute Deal Probate Judge David E. Dunn said he had received "a few" phone calls from disappointed voters who failed to find their names on the list. But he said he believed there were "many" who had failed to rcidentify themselves, hence could not vote in today's election. There is no provision for a last-minute identification which would permit a disfranchised voter to take part in the election today, he added.

Most experts expected Remmel to lose, but to poll the largest vote ever cast for a Republican in the state. (Continued from Page 1-A) ning that way westward across the country. New York Vote Heavy In New York City's Manhattan and Bronx districts, 30 per cent of the registered voters had cast ballots by 11 a.m.

although it was raining1 and cold. The percentage was the same as had voted at that hour in ideal weather in last year's mayoralty; election. In Brooklyn, voting started at a slower pace but soon picked up speed. Leading figures in both parties took the view that disagreeable weather throughout New York state would not affect the voting materially. Extremely heavy" was the re port on early voting in the Mary land and Virginia suburbs of Wash ington.

The capital itself is vote less. In the 10th Virginia congressional district just across the Potomac from the capital, the early ballot mg was reported much heavier than normal for an off year with no presidential race. There was a bitter contest for the district's House seat between Republican Joel T. Broyhill and Democrat John C. Webb.

Some election judges were pre dieting a voting record there. From the biggest precinct in Prince Georges County, just outside the District of Columbia, came a report of "terrifically heavy" balloting with over 200 votes in the first hour out of a registration of about 3,000. A judge at one of the boxes in populous Silver Spring, sai'd the first hour count was the highest he had ever seen. At another box over 20 per cent of the eligibles had voted in the first hour. In the Baltimore metropolitan district, election officials described the vote as "unexpectedly heavy." Chicago Turnout Heavy In Chicago, the first hour's voting brought predictions of a very heavy turnout.

Similarly, Ohio cities had an early rush to the polls. New Jersey officials called the voting there normal but increasing in intensity. The forenoon brought a few scattering returns from small precincts which had polled their entire reg istered vote. First in with a count was Hart's Location, N. always an early runner.

The little mountain community gave Democratic candidates in major races 6 votes to 4 for Republicans. Two years ago, the village voted Republican, 5-4. Since then, two voters have moved away and three newcomers have settled io Hart's Location. Gop Wins Aux Barques Republicans, as they have in the past, mopped up the 14 votes of Point Aux Barques, Mich. Among the early voters was former President Truman.

Putting in his ballot at Independence, Truman said, "It will be the right answer again." Another well-known Democrat, formsr Postmaster General James A. Farley got in an early vote in New York and predicted a 'Democratic sweep." President Eisenhower, also a New York voter, cast an absentee ballot long ago. In addition to choosing the new Congress, voters are picking governors in 33 states and hundreds of local and state officials. The campaign itself closed out last night with major appeals from both sides. President Voted Absentee President Eisenhower from Washington told the voters "there is no such thing as sitting out" the election.

He said in a nationwide radio-television broadcast that any absentee from the polls doubles the value of the ballot cast by a citizen of opposing views. Calls For Votes The President stuck rather closely to a nonpartisan approach. He called for voters to make up their minds "what program is more in line with your rwn thinking where you will get the greatest prudence, the greatest honesty, the greatest integrity, the greatest businesslike methods and economy in government." 7 Stevenson, the 1932 Democratic presidential candidate, also appealed to citizens to exercise their right to vote, saying that is the way to make a' democracy work. In addition, he hit out at what he called Republican efforts to "have you believe that the quest for peace is peculiar to but one of our-political parties." Arms Blast At President Stevenson aimed his fire especially at the campaign remark by Eisenhower that under the Republicans the country "won't go to war to get work," and Vice President Nixon's assertion only last night that' Democratic policies Pity the poor fellow wb-b depends en an automobile clock for the time o'day If you are lookin' for a refuge from crowds, try prayer-meetln's.

LONGSHORE OR MR. WARREN MANY PEOPLE find it hard to make friends. They're shy and timid about meeting people, they're afraid to join social groups. They lack confidence in themselves and believe that good times and friendships are not for them. If you have any such ideas put them aside right now.

You can enjoy a happy and well-balanced social life quickly and easily. No one need be shy or timid anymore. Yours A Gay Carefree Life One of the best stepping stones to social success and popularity and a sure cure for timidity, too, is knowing how to dance well. Arthur Murray, who is very much aware of the many benefits derived from dancing, has devised a threefold plan to make learningquick, easy and fun, too. We'll Prove You Have the Ability The plan is surprisingly simpleso simple it's' amazing it hasn't been done before.

Arthur Murray believes, and has 42 years of teaching experience to support his belief, that everyone can dance, that everyone has a dormant ability to music." And to prove it this is his plan: First you take a few private lessons to get confidence and to master the famous Arthur Murray "Magic Step To Popularity," the key step to all dances. Secondly you proceed to lessons with a group of people in an attractive ballroom at the studio. Actually this is more like a party than a lesson, as yon -dance with many different partners, learn to adapt yourself to all kinds of dancers. Parties Make Learning: More Fun 1 Thirdly, there are the student-teacher par i ties. And, what fun they are! You dance with instructors and other pupils, too.

There's never a chance to be a sideline sitter because no good dancer ever sits when there's music playing, you know that! These 6tu- dent-teacher parties are frequently held in the glamorous supper rooms of leading hotels so you can see that they are really rather special. Thousands Find New Happiness That, briefly, is the Arthur Murray plan to make people more popular, more self-confident. And, it really works. We've seen thou sands of shy, timid people enter our studio and we've seen them develop into confident, attractive personalities. We've seen introverts turn into extroverts in just a few short weeks.

Many of our pupils have told us that through dancing they have doubled their number of friends. Why not come into the studio and have a half -hour, $1.00 trial lesson? Let one of the Arthur Murray teachers show you how quickly and easily you can dance like an expert Our studios are open from 10 AM to 10 PM daily and visitors are always wel- come.
